Those are indeed handsome covers and scarce !
I can see why you admire , and dare I say covet them.

Thanks for the showing philatelia ; that is a great grouping of railway covers. The visual appeal should come as no surprise though given that the Hibernian catalogue pages shared suggests these are philatelic covers based on the addressees i.e. 'PH' vs 'COM' and would be valued accordingly. At the same time and not intended to derail the topic at hand, I found this text for my own reference library when a new direction is needed after exploring the Railway Post Office markings of Canada or Portugal to their fullest,
From the covers you have shared, the station office postmarks on the first two covers from both COROFIN & CASTLEDERG are interesting, but it is the squared- violet cancellation on the third cover which has really piqued my curiosity...
Have fun and happy collecting!
